Projects
A project is one matter. It holds the folders and files you upload, every run made against them, and, on the Organization plan, the colleagues you share it with. One project is always the active one, and the active project decides which files the File Library shows and which project a new run is recorded against.
The Projects screen is where you create projects, switch between them, and read what has happened inside one.
- Where: the Projects pill in the top bar, at
/dashboard/projects. - The list: an Active (n) and Archived (n) switch, Search projects, a tags filter and Sort projects.
- The detail pane: the project name, description, status, metadata and actions, followed by the History, Analytics and Members tabs.
- Members: Organization plan only. Owner, Editor and Viewer.
- Lifecycle: create, edit, archive, restore, delete.
The active project
The dropdown at the left of the top bar names the project every feature is currently working in. With nothing chosen it reads My projects. The same dropdown carries Add new project.
Switching projects clears the file selections, the open previews and the folder view from the previous matter, then loads the new project's folders. Nothing is lost: the previous project keeps its own files and runs, and switching back restores them.
You can also switch from a project's heading area with Switch to this project. That button is hidden on the project that is already active.
On sign-in Judicio restores the project you last chose. If there is none, it selects your most recently updated project. A sample project seeded by Judicio is never picked for you, and always sorts last in the list.
When to reach for it
Open Projects when you want to see a matter as a whole rather than a single run: which files it holds, who has touched it, what each feature has cost, and whether the work is finished enough to archive.
It is not where you run anything. Reviews, research, timelines and drafts are started from their own screens and then appear in the project's history.
What a project holds
| Part | What it is |
|---|---|
| Name and description | Both are required when you create the project. Either can be changed later. |
| Tags | Labels from the list Judicio provides plus any already in use in your organisation. They drive the tags filter on the list. |
| Files | Every folder belongs to one project, and every file sits in a folder. The file count is on the project row and in its details. |
| Activity | One row per run: the feature, the person, the credits, the file and the outcome. |
| Members | Organization plan only. One owner, plus editors and viewers. |
| Status | Active or Archived, shown as a badge beside the project name. |
Credits
Projects themselves are free
Creating, renaming, tagging, archiving, restoring and browsing a project costs nothing. Credits are spent by the features you run inside it, and the Analytics tab reports what those runs have cost. See Credits Explained.
Sharing beyond the project
A project role governs the project. It does not open a colleague's individual run: a research session, review, matrix, timeline, translation, draft or strategy report is shared separately from its own screen. See Collaboration for the sharing model and the permission matrix.
